Your favour of 21 st making inquiry when the last payment was made to Joseph Bone an Invalid Pensioner was the day rec d ? Upon Examination of our Roll I cannot find any one of that name inscribed on the Books - and therefore think the application was mis-directed -
I herewith transmit the papers of the administration of John Garrison Deceased - Can the balance of the Pension be paid on them, they are not exactly in form the pension Certificate not being Copied - You will please excuse my omitting papers for your Examination - for if they can be paid, it saves to the Pensioner the postage of transmitting back and forth from Arkansaw Counties.
